It’s Time To Boycott Paper

May 10th, 2008

Let me ask you a simple question that requires zero education whatsoever.

That question is, “What’s the use of paper?” We’ve got garbage dumps filled up with the stuff, we’re killing trees and raping forests to create the damn things, they cut and slice our fingers open with reckless abandon and most people, upon seeing paper, find themselves sick to their stomachs with the anticipation of pending work.

That’s why, effective immediately, it’s time to boycott paper.

Just like the oil companies are forcing politicians to slow the advances that will free us from gasoline in our cars, so too are mega-companies like Staples and Office Max and printer companies like HP and Epson, so that our desperate need for paper never ends (like the Universe and its inherent infinity).

Who Invented The Game Thumb War

May 18th, 2007

Day 5 of WFME’s week long Week ‘o Searches ends today with an awfully personal search string that has brought people to my site.

The search “Who Invented The Game Thumb War” hit close to home because what few people know is that my late Grandfather Bernard was the inventor of Thumb War. I’ve never tried to make money off this fact, I’ve never even looked into charging people a dollar each time they play the game that my family invented, but with this many searches bringing people here looking for the name of the person who actually invented it — I felt it was about time.

So why don’t I give you some of the background?
